I think I shall fall, soon

Down, down, down, never to rise again

I can already feel my grip sliding

An earthly load crushes my spine,

Warps it to meet the expectations of the world

Who suffocates me with their hopes

Now the pain is constant

Now it is not likely

That I shall live to see twenty

Oh gods, it hurts

Can't they see my youth?

My inexperience?

Or will they send me to my demise?

(doIdarewelcomeit?)







What makes us stronger, what makes us break?

I can't tell the difference from the perpetual ache

Alone we are weary, together I cry

The foes that are haunting me never will die

Day after day I sit on the beach

Mourning for something just out of my reach

Night after night I brood on the sands

Watching time trickle through immortal hands

Hours may pass and the shadows may fall

But you'll still be the prettiest one of them all
